A Rich Colour

Hi Everyone,

I've decided to make a few cards, just for fun which were inspired by my recent visit to my Hairdresser.  If you think I've changed colours you would be right, and it's a big deal for me.  A change is as good as a holiday, they say.  Not too sure what the husband will think.   While the cats away, and everything.

This is the first one

My base card is Rich Razzleberry which I've layered with Whisper White stamped with the Delicate Doilies stamp set and embossed with Fancy Fan Embossing folder.  I've added tags from the Chalk Talk bundle with the stamp also in Rich Razzleberry Ink and a Basic Black embossed tag with the doilies stamped on the background with Basic Gray, Razzleberry and Perfect Plum inks.  I little Simply Pressed coloured flower (compliments of Deb Blake's birthday gift) was added to my ribbon bow.


The next card is a Christmas Card.  Don't you just love to break out in some non traditional colours sometimes for Christmas?  Every now and then I do.  Again my base card is Rich Razzleberry and I've teamed it with Basic Black, Whisper White, Perfect Plum and Silver Glimmer.  I've used 2 stamp sets on this card.  The first is a new one from the Holiday Catalogue called Merry Little Christmas.  I've stamped this on White with Razzleberry Ink and cut it out as a tag with the Deco Label framelits and topped it with a little bow from the fine Silver ribbon also in the catalogue.  The second stamp set used is Christmas Lodge.  I've taken the large tree from that set and stamped in Perfect Plum ink onto the White card and edged the card with a punched border of Perfect Plum and mat the piece onto Basic Black.
Here it is.
I've also coloured the Glimmer Star on the top of the tree with some Razzleberry Ink and a dauber before I punched it out with the Bitty Star punch which comes in the set of 3 mini punches (last year & on the carryover flyer).


I do love all these colours together.  I hope you do too, and you've enjoyed seeing my cards today.  You're going to have to guess now, what colour is my hair?  Lol!  I hope I haven't given too much away.

Have a great day.

    Fab cards.
    Just had a bit of colour added to my hair this week too! To manage the other colour I don't like!

      Thank you, I know the feeling well Vicki. This colour was a bit of a departure from my normal brown that I usually get.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
